Paul O'Neill who served the Bush Administration as Secretary of the Treasury was dismissed and subsequently wrote a book that was critical of Bush and his criminal co-conspirators. Specifically, he stated that the Administration was going out of its way to find a reason to invade Iraq, all of this being pre-9/11 of course.
The Administration's, as well as the right's response was exactly the same as in this instance...deny, criticize and attack the individual's character and credibility. I really wish it was harder for these scoundrels to do so, particularly because character is something the entire Administration lacks.
It's amazing how Bush's jerks rarely veer away from the playbook and even more amazing how the media and the public suck it up hook, line and sinker pretty much every time.
